Welcome

I am interested in guys, spirituality, innovation, sports, politics, cars, and human rights for all, including LGBT people. My Spanish ancestry, May birth sign, and personality (optimism and stubbornness) inform the name of this blog.

An American President

All love is equal

An articulate 12-year-old boy reminds us of what life is all about: choosing love

This young, straight Hawaiian is a fierce advocate for equality and love, promoting marriage for all people. He's quite a young man.

The connection between these two men is beautiful. My favorite wedding video.

Listen to retired German pro soccer player Thomas Hitzlsperger talk about being out and proud to be gay.

This song "Same Love" pretty much captures the journey toward love and ful equality for the LGBT. It may become our anthem.

This is the reality of gay people raising children. Nothing to fear; only love to celebrate.

Barb Young is an articulate and passionate straight ally for the LGBT. She is clear that love is winning over fear as gay people take their rightful place as full members of society. She is also the wife of former San Francisco 49er legend, Steve Young. (Steve is fortunate to have a spouse like her.)

Inspiring moments

A true Buddha: an Iranian democracy protester protecting a fallen motorcycle policeman who had just charged him and the crowd.

Straight British MP David Lammy makes a compelling case for marriage equality: "separate but equal is a fraud." Watch him stand for truth and love.

Bon Iver reminds us that we are part of this beautiful world, not separate from it. While challenging, life is also glorious.

Like few people can, Andrew Sullivan makes a compelling case for marriage equality.

These gay and lesbian couples file to get married in North Carolina and they are refused. This is what institutionalized discrimination feels and looks like, just as African-Americans were segregated before the 1950s and women before that.

"One Day" by Richard Blanco, a Cuban-American, read at the 2013 Inauguration. He's also a gay man who lives with his partner in Maine. How American!

I appreciate the sportsmanship, humility & love of Andres Iniesta. He scored the winning goal for Spain in the 2010 World Cup. With the eyes of the world upon him, Andres takes off his jersey to reveal a hand-printed shirt honoring a deceased team mate. And he is a shy hottie, too!

Click on this above photo to hear Hillary's landmark speech on LGBT rights to the U.N. I couldn't be prouder of her advocacy of gay people and work as a secretary of state. America is now respected again in the world.

This is what homophobia and bullying do to young people: make them hate themselves. This teenage boy, Jonah Mowry, has been bullied since he was in 1st grade. This is wrong and society must condemn and censure bullying. We all are connected.

Nothing is more beautiful or powerful than giving love to someone you don't even know, and that's why I celebrate this video made by Jonathon, a young man in Los Angeles, in response to the video above this one.
